Reconstructed Landscapes

I have recently completed a series of collages that I'm calling Reconstructed Landscapes. There are about 30 small collages in this series; each are paper, acrylic, and graphite on mat board.

This series of collages started out as an exercise. I took printed images of completed paintings and collaged these together to create new compositions adding a minimal amount of acrylic and graphite.
